Global Force sent us the following press release:

GFW TO PARTNER WITH EUROPEAN PROMOTIONS
Global Force Wrestling: Join The Force!

NASHVILLE – On the heels of partnership agreements with the top promotions in Japan and Mexico, Global Force Wrestling has formed an alliance with several of the top independent wrestling promotions throughout Europe, including the United Kingdom, Germany and Ireland.

Stepping forward to #JointheForce are

Revolution Pro Wrestling (www.revolutionprowrestling.com, covering south of England)
New Generation Wrestling (www.ngwuk.com, covering north of England)
Premier British Wrestling (www.pbwwrestling.com, covering Scotland)
Westside Xtreme Wrestling (www.wxw-wrestling.com, covering Germany) and
Emerald Wrestling Promotions (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Emerald-Wrestling-Promotions/100651866652805, covering Ireland).

“If you look through the history of pro wrestling you’ll find great talent from Europe woven throughout,” Global Force Wrestling founder and CEO Jeff Jarrett said. “We put the word ‘Global’ in this new brand, and we meant it. We believe fans want a wrestling promotion that brings something new and exciting and will engage them at every turn, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

Veteran wrestler Doug Williams, a multiple singles and tag team champion in his native England and in various U.S. promotions, has been instrumental in helping Global Force Wrestling put together this European alliance.

“I am very excited to be a part of the Force, and I really look forward to helping facilitate the relationships between GFW and these top independent wrestling promotions,” Williams said. “The European style will bring something a little different to the table, just as the other partners will.I can’t wait to see it all come together under one umbrella.”

GFW announced its partnership with Mexico’s AAA on April 29 and with New Japan Pro Wrestling on June 23.

* Ranking Every SUMMERSLAM Poster Ever – Which Poster Was Ranked #1?

Bill Goldberg was recently interviewed by the Phoenix New Times to promote his PodcastOne.com podcast. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

Why His Podcast Is Different From Other Podcasts:

“At the end of the day, man, the reason I did the podcast is because I went through my Rolodex and thought, “There has to be a way to take advantage of all the cool people that I know.” So, in the beginning, by not [featuring] wrestlers, I wouldn’t be able to gain that much traction as the other guys, but I’m not at all like the other guys. I’m different.”

“I’m not a wrestler. I am a football player who looked at wrestling as a business. I do not live it, I do not breathe it, I do not eat it and shit it like everybody else does. And I truly believe that there’s a lot more interesting content out there that I’m going to try turning these wrestling fans on to that’s cool. I’ve been leading a pretty cool life and have some really cool friends.”

Possibly Having Chris Jericho As A Guest:

“Absolutely. Why not? We’ll do a co-promoted podcast where it should be aired on both simultaneously. Yeah. No big deal. I’m 47 years old, man, I don’t hold grudges with people. If he’s got a problem with me, say it to my face. Other than that, shut up, you know?”

His Backstage Fight With Chris Jericho In WCW:

“Yeah, that’s how I feel too, man. And I very much appreciate him saying that. Until I talk to him face-to-face, which I haven’t done since the B.S. went down years ago, which…it was ridiculous. It was the furthest thing from a fight that I think I’ve ever seen. But he knows the truth and I know the truth, and the reality is we’re grown men, dude, we’ve got bigger and better things to do than [dwell] on a ridiculous little subject that people seem to bring up every couple minutes.”

Being Willing To Wrestle For WWE again:

“Uh…I think in general, although they’ve been extremely successful over the years. I don’t know, man, I haven’t talked to too many guys that see eye to eye with them, unless you’re in that inner circle, but not unlike any other business, you’re gonna have your opinions about it. [But] no, they don’t know how to do business with me, I mean, the reality is, I don’t think they want to do business with me. I think that’s the reality of it.

So I could care less, to be honest with you, but to answer that question, I just don’t think that there’ll be a chance for us to do anything. And I’ve said it before and I said it at [WrestleCon], the last conversation I had with Triple H, and I left it in their corner, was, “Hey man, I’m willing to put everything aside, I have an eight-year-old boy who’d love to see me wrestle. So if you guys want to make a lot of money and do some business, then let’s do it.”

Former TNA star AJ Styles appeared on Wrestling Observer Radio this week and revealed that he’s already made more money this year working the indy scene than he would have for the entire year of 2014, based on the final contract renewal offer he received.

He added that by the end of the year, he could make the same amount of money that he made in TNA in 2013, a deal that was more lucrative than TNA’s final offer to him this year. Styles made around $350,000 on his last TNA deal. The deal that he turned down would have paid him just over $200,000 and would have paid him based on how often he wrestled.

Another perk of being self employed and taking his own bookings is that independent promotions pay for his hotel rooms, travel expenses. He also receives most of the money generated from the sales of his merchandise.

TNA doesn’t cover road expenses and wrestlers only get a small percentage of merchandise money.

You can check out Roberts making in the announcement in the video above.

The following are highlights of a new Ring Rust Radio interview with Bo Dallas:

On the back story of creating his character: “There was no one moment that I could look at that says, ‘this is what happened.’ It was just a series of events. I got the opportunity to become NXT Champion down in the NXT developmental, and luckily I got 8 months as the champion and it just sort of developed. Things started happening and everything was clicking on all cylinders and working and it developed and morphed into its own monster. I just rolled with the punches, kept my eyes open and my ears sharp to everything that was coming in and took it and ran with it.”

On the differences between performing in WWE and NXT: “The way the developmental system is these days is different than it has ever been. They do so much to prepare us for making that jump from NXT to the big stage that there’s not many differences. NXT is its own brand and has become bigger than I think ever thought was possible. But if I can give any inspirational advice to anyone coming up, really look at what you do and know that what works, works. It doesn’t matter the size of the stage, if it works at a smaller stage, it will work at a bigger stage and stay true to what you are and Bo-lieve in yourself.”

On whether his brief stint on the main roster inspired him: “Yes, absolutely. I got the taste which lit a fire under me. In this industry, you have to evolve to stay relevant, what I wanted, I felt. So I had that eight months to know that that’s what I wanted and just worked as hard as I could, nonstop, to get where I needed to be, develop this character and develop who I am today. So yes, it absolutely lit a fire under me.”

On whether he watches WWE Network: “Oh yeah, constantly. I’m on the WWE Network all the time. If I have free time, if I wasn’t on the radio right now, I would be on the WWE Network. There’s tons. A lot of what I watch is Mr. Perfect. I am a diehard fan of Mr. Perfect and Curt Hennig and his work. If I could go back in time and be in the ring with him, I would do anything for it. But I watch a lot of Curt Hennig’s old matches.”

The following are highlights of a new Under The Mat Radio interview with TNA star Davey Richards:

On the return of the six-sided ring: “Well it gives TNA their own personality and it’s unique to them. It takes a little bit to get used to…having two more sides and it can make things more confusing at the end of the day you still got to get the job done so I’m fine with it.”

On what his goal is right now in TNA: “Just me and Eddie (Edwards) making a mark as one of the greatest tag teams in TNA history. There’s the Hardy Boys who’s back together and Team 3D is back together…there’s always Beer Money who could get back together. We want to test ourselves with those guys and leave our mark in TNA.”

On his thoughts on his WWE tryout with Eddie Edwards: “We did a one week tryout for them and that was about it. It’s not somewhere where I longed to work for their travel schedule doesn’t work for me. I’m not moving down there and getting trained how to wrestle again I’ve already been trained and if I don’t’ have it now then I won’t have it.”

• MMANEWS.COM: Jim Ross To UFC?, The Rock Talks Brock Lesnar/UFC + MORE!

WWE.com has published Michael Cole’s weekly sit down interview with WWE COO Triple H. Here are some highlights:

– When asked about Stephanie McMahon’s “arrest” on RAW, Triple H said he has been advised not to speak about the case because of “pending legal action.” Cole asked how she was and Triple H got upset, telling him to move on.

– Triple H said he picked “Plan C” Brock Lesnar to face John Cena at SummerSlam because he guaranteed the WWE Universe that Cena would not leave the event as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He’s going to fulfill that guarantee and Lesnar is the man who will help him keep his word. He assured Cole that Lesnar will get the job done.

– Cole asked about putting WWE’s biggest franchise Superstar in the ring with the man who may have ended The Undertaker’s career. Triple H said Lesnar vs. Cena is best for business and the WWE Universe wants to see Cena have the best possible competition. His job isn’t to protect Cena “because he sells t-shirts.” He added that said WWE has relied on Cena for years, but the company will move on when the time comes. If Lesnar ends Cena’s career, so be it.

– Cole congratulated Triple H on the one year anniversary of the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. Triple H said it has been an amazing year and the Performance Center is a big step into the future for WWE. He said that WWE’s future is bright and the wrestlers using the Performance Center have advantages that previous generations never had.

There has been a lot of talk within WWE lately about WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena’s movie career.

With Cena missing WWE shows to film “The Nest” and Cena already signed on to appear in “Trainwreck,” a few wrestlers have been joking that Cena will be appearing on TV “via satellite.”

People are speculating backstage that if Cena’s movie career takes off, he could be the next top star to step away from  WWE in favor of a Hollywood career.

While Cena will always be part of the WWE family, the company is already preparing for the day when Cena reduces his WWE schedule.

JR’s active role with WWE ended last summer following his hosting gig of the infamous WWE 2K14 panel at SummerSlam Axxess. Shortly after that event “going off the rails,” Jim Ross and Vince McMahon mutually agreed to part ways.

Jim Ross Says He Wants To Do MMA Announcing

Ross took a lot of the blame for the way Ric Flair handled himself at the event and says that one day, he plans to write about what went down and suspects that some people will be embarrassed about the details he reveals.

He wrote at JRsBarBQ.com:

“No, I haven’t been invited to Summerslam to be involved in the WWE2K15 video game presentation. Yeah, it’s a funny question but you wouldn’t believe how many people are asking.”

“I have no plans to be in L.A. during Summerslam time unless I’m there to do work for Fox Sports or Podcast One. That weekend (in 2013) will be an interesting read when I write about it some day. It could be embarrassing for some.”

He added that he’s already received his first WWE Alumni newsletter.

For all of his ups and downs with WWE management, Jim Ross is viewed by many as one of the greatest wrestling announcers of all time. it was one hell of a run.
